In 2024, the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that approximately 152,810 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with men accounting for 81,540 cases and women for 71,270. The ACS also projects about 53,010 deaths from colorectal cancer in 2024, making it the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Notably, there is a concerning rise in colorectal cancer incidence among individuals under 50.

Early detection through regular screening remains crucial, as it significantly improves survival rates. The ACS recommends that adults at average risk begin regular colorectal cancer screenings at age 45.
